Hoping I am not jinxing myself, I have to say we are very happy with our purchase. We had a different Cuisinart prior to this one and we loved that one as well. Only shopped for a new one because our daughter accidentally broke the carafe. I would recommend this product.

I would have have given this 5 stars but, when making a pot of coffee in the timer mode, you can't use the BOLD option when brewing the coffee. I have only had this for about 3 weeks so time will tell how long until it has issues as some of the other people have reviewed.

We love the single serve side although he water tank could be a tad larger, say 50% larger. The brew/carafe side is a bit more challenging. Buttons on that side, their purpose and how they operate is confusing and instructions are not straightforward. Its taken us some time to figure out. (I normally "get it" right away when using new appliances. My spouse does not. That's why we gave it a 3-star rating.) Overall, we like it. It makes coffee. We would buy the same unit again.

I had an older model of this combo coffee maker where the pod coffee brewer assembly was on the right side and the pot coffee maker was on the left side. It was very inconvenient to pour the water into the unit for the pot side without spilling it all over the pod component. It was has been reversed on this new model and that's simplified both the filling of the brewer side with coffee and water. The controls for both sides are now very touch sensitive and don't require a heavy hand to operate them. The controls are very intuitive as well. The pod controls also allow for designating the size of the desired cup size: 6, 8, 10 or 12 oz sizes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first Cuisinart 2 in 1 in October and had trouble with the pod portion in June so returned it for the same model. I have had the replacement for a few weeks and have already had trouble again with the pod portion. I occasionally have a cupful of grounds. It’s not every day but I can’t figure out what the problem is. Pretty disappointing!

Makes great coffee, both brewed and Keurig. One bad feature is that you have to set it to bold every time you do a brew and there’s no way to set it to bold for a timed brew in the future. If you want it bold you should be able to get it bold every time you do a brew. Need to fix this.

Getting ready to return it. Used it over the holiday. If your regular size coffee cup is slightly higher (different coffee cups) then you can’t brew the single cup on the top shelf and have to use the one on the bottom. Disappointment. In regard's to the carafe, two pots overflowed with ground coffee and I only used 7 spoons. The pot had only been used 2 times. What a mess. Seems flimsy.

I used it to make K cups and a whole pot of coffee. The K Cup holder/dispenser would not stay open while loading the K Cup. It would slowly slide down not leaving enough room to place the K Cup in the dispenser without manually pushing it open and holding it open to load the K Cup. It was quit noisy through the process. The drip coffee maker on the hand was slow but did make a great pot of coffee. The temperature was very hot and the hot plate stayed on the full 4 hours (unless adjusting it for less) and kept the coffee hot the entire time. Water seemed to leak a little on the single cup side. The machine as a whole did not feel as heavy or sturdy as other Cuisinart machines I have owned. I am returning it and looking for another.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the ability to do a single cup or pot. Both come out really well. The options in the settings make for great flexibility. We still have to try the ice coffee options but the hot coffee is great!

Love the option of making a single cup if I am rushing out the door or if I need an afternoon pick me up! Otherwise, making a pot of coffee for when I have company or when my husband and I have a lazy morning and have time for more than one cup is so convenient! It is also nice.to be able to brew different flavors, tea, or caffeinated/ decaffeinated coffee if someone wants something different. LOVE my coffee maker!
